At some point after that, Iglesias' management contacted team officials and the night's promotion was cancelled.

Sara Sanchez, online content provider for the El Paso Times, messaged Iglesias via social media, and here's what he told her regarding the celebration's cancellation, per the Times:

My concern was that it misled my fans who thought I was going to be in attendance or performing," said Iglesias. The team put my face and name on everything including ticket links. They pulled out after my management team reached out."

Earlier this season the team did a 'Salute to Selena' night honoring the slain Tejano Music Queen, and they've also dedicated nights to The Rat Pack and Elvis Presley, as well as a ‘Tribute to Muhammad Ali’.

I suspect the planned Gabriel Iglesias celebration went awry because he's still very much alive and all the other celebs they've honored aren't very active on social media since, you know, they've already passed on.
